A recent series of Burger King print and television ads appearing in Germany poke fun at various aspects of pop culture. Specifically, the theme titled “Veg City”, shown above, takes a stab at the popular Grand Theft Auto franchise.

The closest we have gotten to a GTA parody by a large corporation here in states is the Coca-Cola “Give a little love” commercial. While funny in its own right, it’s no where near as edgy as its German Burger King counterpart.

The video below, was originally pulled from YouTube, so I am not sure just how long I will be allowed to display the one below. In other words, “have it your way”, while you still can. There is also a “Veg City” website worth checking out, assuming you don’t mind the fact that it’s completely in German.
